Hey Chris, That would have been a fun boat ride with you and Sherwood. CEGT was primarily MemfisMafia and Barasaur. Since the Mafia moved to Florida, CEGT hasn't launched any new caches. Stage 5 was in a small hidden park between Pratt and Bross, north of 2nd. It is open seasonally and with certain hours. There was a sign with a number to call and that's how we gained access.

This MOB cache is one of my most memorable multi-cache finds. https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6TWAG It had seven stages and four of them were MOB, including one that was in the middle of a lake (stage 6). Denali41 and I did this together and we had five devices between the two of us to get the MOB stages. While there were seven Found It logs on the cache, four of them were "beta testers" that never actually worked through every stage (including one of the team cache owners), they were only present when the final was placed.. Denali41 and I were the only two true finders.

👍 Quality over quantity any day!

tbbiker x 1000! Just need that rare 5/3.5 to meet the original challenge. Have several qualifiers on my "must find" list but i need to get off the stick and commit to the necessary travel.

The PQ should go in the GARMIN/GPX folder. If the caches are not near you (<100 miles?), you'll need re-center your map in the vicinity of the caches to see them on the map.

Here's a great site to help with puzzle caches. geocachingtoolbox.com

Minimally! Yep, still does. Great cache!

I've been sitting on 80 of 81 for almost five years. Still need that rare, old 5/3.5 and there are none near me. I had hoped to qualify before I hit 1000 finds and came close. Made the hike to The Secret Patio near Salt Lake City in May 2016 but ended up with a DNF due to there still being deep snow at GZ. Haven't gotten back to Utah since. I need to change that this year.

Shall I bring my clubs too? ?

I've been meaning to get down there and try that one but it's going to have to wait until it warms up. At least I'll have a clue on one of the 6 stages, if I can get through the previous stages that is. ?

Beautiful photos! The first one reminds me of a Terry Redlin painting.

Cool! WI is a state I haven't cached in yet and I need to get there sometime.

Thanks, I knew about the new four. Just wanted confirmation you got the new numbers correct and 68 was skipped. Now it makes me curious why 68 was skipped.

Thanks, that answers why mygeocachingprofile includes a Cacti attribute in their stats. I've never seen the attribute being available or a cache that used it.

I've got the 2nd edition of Cully Long's book and it shows the attributes numbered 1-67 with #16 unused. Total attributes are now at 70. Is #68 also unused?

@ecanderson where are you? ???

My comment wasn't questioning whether someone can find 1500 caches in a year, that's most certainly not a rare occurrence. I was only commenting that finding 1,500 caches in a year, for me and how I like to cache, would be "torture."

Not surprising. But I would still feel the same if it was 1500 finds.

"The max find count was 15,297" Yikes! I enjoy caching but that sounds like pure torture to me.

Looks like they got the message, I see the article has been corrected.

From the blog today: Example N47 38.938, W122 20.887 "We’ve already established the latitude could be anywhere along the line that is 47 degrees, 38 minutes, and 938 seconds north of the equator. Now we are looking at the longitude, the second group of numbers. The longitude starts with a W, so we are moving west from the Prime Meridian 122, so twelve and 2/10 (or ⅕) lines of longitude. Then, we move a further 20 minute and 887 seconds, and we’ve arrived at our destination. Where the lines of latitude and longitude cross, that’s our location!" If you moved 938 seconds north and 887 west, you aren't in the right location! C'mon GS, you should know coordinate systems better than that.

That's a challenge that really fits my caching interests. I have found 498 (30% of my finds) that qualify with the loneliest at 3419 days. Will likely never get to the UK though.

So it was only gale force at your place eh? ;-)
